DOOR STOP AND HOLDER.'

SPECIFICATION forming part of- Letters Patent No. 752,375, dated`February 16, 1904. Application filed September 21, 1903. Serial No.174,106. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY COLE, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of Baltimore city, in the State of 5Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in DoorStops and Holders, of which the following is a speciflcation.

My invention relates to improvements in door-stops which hold doors whenopen and 1o prevent closing of the door by the wind or jarring orsettling of the building.

The objects of my invention are to provide a new and improved door stopand holder, also to provide an adjustable or extensible` stop I5 whichcould be so made of standard size and adjusted to correspond with thedoor-knob to prevent said knob striking or injuring the wall.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional sideelevation of my 2o improved door stop and holder shown as connected andholding the door open. a front view of the catch. Figs. 3 and 4 arerespectively front and side elevation of a modic'ation of the catch.

As it is a well-known fact that door-knobs are used and are of dilierentsizes, it is not thought necessary to illustrate said door-knob.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings, inwhich- 1 is the washboard of wall, to which the stop 3 is secured by thescrew 2. This stop 3 may be hollow to receive the extensible andadjustable portion 6, whichv is held in the various positions by the pin4 passing through the 35 perforation 5 in the stop and through any oneFig. 2 is of the. several perfor-ations 7 8 9 10 in the adjustableportion 6. As the outer end of this adjustable portion 6 is-a suitablehead or knob 11,- which passes into the opening 15 of a suitable catch13, which catch is in turn held by its frame 14 and the screw 18 to thedoor 17, 15 being the hole in the frame la through which screw 18passes. Catch 13 is preferably made of sheet spring-steel, with acentral orifice 15 and suitable' stop 16; butV it is not desired tolimit myself to the particular construction shown. be provided with theusual rubber cushion 12; but it is not deemed necessary to use thiscushion.

I am aware that it is common to use a doorstop and a catch on thedoor-stop adapted to secure a knob on the door; but this I do not claim.

What I claimas my invention is- The head or knob 11 may 1. A door-stopcomprising a base and telescoping parts provided with a perforationadapted to receive a pin for securing the telescoping parts together,substantially as described.

2. In a catch, a disk having a central orice with radial slots andadapted to engage a knob, substantially as described.
